Journalist: Pioli has asked Milan to sign Italian striker – Massara ‘will take official steps’ soon

AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has asked the club to sign Torino striker Andrea Belotti this summer, according to one journalist.

Milan have been linked with a move for Belotti over the last few summer windows but have either chosen to go with other targets or have been priced out of a deal, but the Italy international is at a crossroads in his career because his contract expires in 2022 and he does not look set to renew.

This has reignited the speculation that a move to his boyhood club could be on the cards, and Ekrem Konur writes how – at the request of Stefano Pioli – Milan are closely monitoring the situation surrounding the 27-year-old.

Not only that, but Konur adds that it seems likely that Massara ‘will take official steps’ for Belotti after the European Championships, which Italy reached the final of thanks to a penalty shootout win in the semi-final against Spain last night.
